My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
Just curious to see who the pioneers are going to be.

I'll likely be leasing, not buying one...

+1. I bought a first year E60 and fortunately had no issues. But I think leasing would be the safe path...
With the F10, I assume there will be a bit more stability on the software end of things since everything keeps getting refined over time and I believe that for the most part, the code is designed to be portable across models that have similar features, etc.
I can only hope that I'll be able to order a car with the TT V8 and a DSG transmission...

I won't be getting it the first year... did that with my 2004 E60 and missed out on a few features (like BT, MP3, etc.).
Will likely wait for 3rd year!

Rudy, I thought DSG was an Audi/VW tranny, in the Bimmer we have the DCT...
As to the OP, I too am feeling inclined towards leasing a TT V8 F10, but not sure whether I'll be doing it first year of production. Certainly hope so though

My 550i lease is up in October 2010. If the F10 is available, I'd certainly consider it, along with the M3 sedan.
